not covered
The following material is not explicitly scheduled and where appropriate will be covered in earlier sections.
Navigation - Lat/Long
- 0.75 hr
 - SAR Fundamentals Manual: Ch13
 - SAR Fundamentals Manual: Ch.13 "Navigation"
 - Basic SAR Skills Manual: Ch.7 "Navigation"
 
Rationale to not include: SAR workers only use lat/long when interfacing with members of the public and air searchers. Conversion to UTM can be accomplished by a suitably trained person in the planning section.
Navigation - Legal Land Description, Road Numbering System, Municipal Approach Numbering System
-  1.5 hr
- 2006-09-30 10:15 11:45
 
 - SAR Fundamentals Manual: Ch.13 "Navigation"
 - Basic SAR Skills Manual: Ch.7 "Navigation"
 
Rationale to not include: SAR workes only use LLD and its derivatives when navigating to the search site and interfacing with the public and municipal workers. Navigation by LLD is a difficult skill to maintain. Conversion to UTM can be accomplished by a suitably trained person in the planning section.
Navigation - GPS - practical - waypoints
- See lesson plan after 1:13
 
Rope rescue
- 1.25 hr
 -  SAR Fundamentals Manual:
